words don't come easy
gets soft
not saying anything
is how the message moves
so slowly
departure: check box marked "yes"
arrival: check box marked "tba"
with pencil
rock me, laurie a
rock my chair
sit on my back
big limited lady
i wanted to ask her
but the message receiver was an illusion
and another late winter day sighed
lo and behold
giving up made this dilemma worse
but laurie fled to l.a.
don't ask
i know it's truer than strange
slower than still
not saying anything
is why the message moved
the most powerful statement in history
